OEM Payne Dual Run Capacitor P291-8053 for Model PA12NA060000ABAA

This is the genuine OEM dual run capacitor (part number P291-8053) factory-specified for the Payne PA12NA060000ABAA split-system air conditioner. The dual run capacitor provides the electrical start and run boost required by both the compressor and condenser fan motor simultaneously. When this component degrades or fails, you may notice a loud humming noise with no motor movement, a system that trips the breaker shortly after startup, or a condenser fan that spins slowly or not at all — all classic signs of capacitor failure in a 5-ton Payne unit.

  • Specs: Dual run capacitor | Factory OEM part number P291-8053 | Rated 370V/440V | Round case design | ±3% MFD factory tolerance for precision motor protection
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Payne OEM capacitor, not an aftermarket substitute. Generic capacitors typically carry a ±6–10% MFD tolerance, which can accelerate compressor wear and shorten equipment life. OEM ensures exact factory compliance every time.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — A straightforward swap for experienced DIYers or technicians. Required tools: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter. Important: Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling and photograph all wiring connections prior to removal.
  • Warranty: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty. Orders placed before our daily cutoff ship the same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for the Payne PA12NA060000ABAA 5-ton single-stage split-system condenser. Always verify the MFD and voltage ratings on your unit's data plate before ordering to confirm fitment. Our HVAC parts specialists are available to verify compatibility before you purchase — just reach out. Order today and get back to cool faster with same-day shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA12NA060000ABAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA12NA060000ABAA. It is a direct drop-in replacement that fits without modification. Always verify the model number on your equipment nameplate before ordering.
How do I replace the capacitor on my Payne PA12NA060000ABAA?
Difficulty: Easy (20–30 min)
Step 1: Turn off power at breaker. Step 2: Open condensing unit panel. Step 3: Photograph the old capacitor wiring (Common/Herm/Fan). Step 4: Discharge old capacitor with insulated screwdriver. Step 5: Disconnect and remove old capacitor. Step 6: Mount new capacitor, reconnect wires to matching terminals. Step 7: Close panel, restore power, test. Tools: screwdriver, needle-nose pliers.
My AC hums but won’t start. What part do I need?
An AC that hums but won’t start is the classic symptom of a failed capacitor. The capacitor provides the electrical boost to start the compressor. When it fails, you hear humming but the motor can’t overcome inertia. Other symptoms: fan spinning slowly, AC cycling on/off rapidly, or a visibly swollen capacitor. Fix: replace capacitor ($15–$80 DIY, 30 min).
Is this capacitor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?
Many Payne parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.
Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my Payne capacitor?
OEM strongly recommended. OEM capacitors have ±6% MFD tolerance vs aftermarket ±10%. The looser tolerance causes motor winding stress, higher temps, and shorter compressor life. Price difference is only $10–$20 — OEM is the clear value choice.
How fast does National HVAC Parts ship?
Orders placed before 3:00 PM CST ship the same business day. Standard delivery is 2–5 business days anywhere in the continental United States. Express shipping available at checkout. We ship from Houston, TX to all 50 states. 30-day return policy on all parts.
